Check-in

Mentors check-in regularly with the Routes team in order to reflect on their learnings, receive support and guidance.

Mentors are also connected with Routes faculty and past mentors for additional support.

Celebrate

At the end of the programme, the cohort comes together to reflect on their experiences and celebrate their achievements, along with their mentees and the Routes team.

“I absolutely love being a mentor for my mentee, and it's often my favourite part of the week. I leave the meetings with a bounce in my step.” - Autumn 2018 mentor

Purposeful leadership

Our programmes are designed to encourage purposeful leadership. We support our mentors to develop their own leadership skills, through two intensive training sessions, followed by a chance to practically apply new learnings. We encourage our mentors to practise leading with our three key values: joy, welcome and patience.

“It has been really lovely to get to know my mentee and to find out more about her. I feel as though our meetings have given her some focus and we are building a good rapport. I think it's really powerful to give someone a space that is just for them.” - Autumn 2018 mentor
